deleting a repo

Hi there

 

I use svn delete to delete a file or a folder and it works fine. Now I
want to delete a repository and I use svn delete to perform the same,
but some errors

 

C:\Documents and Settings\e453531\Desktop>svn delete -m "delete"
http://acssvn-dev.honeywell.com/SoftCo/Tools/Testing

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://acssvn-dev.honeywell.com/SoftCo/Tools': 200 OK
(http://a

cssvn-dev.honeywell.com)

 

Also tried svn delete -m "delete"
file:///data/svn/honeywell/SoftCo/Tools/Testing/

svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///data/svn/honeywell/SoftCo/Tools'

 

What does this mean?

 

But inside SoftCo/Tools/  "Testing" exists 

 

Regards

Not for deleting a repository, no. Only for deleting things inside a  
repository.

You can svn delete the URL of a file or directory inside a repository.  
You cannot use it to delete a repository itself.

I saw from the svn-book, a URL can be deleted using svn-delete but in my
case it doesn't work

"svn delete" is only for deleting things inside repositories.

To delete a repository itself, simply delete the repository directory  
on the server.
